What Steam players say

Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.

✦ AI summary

Star Pilot suffers from severe technical issues that make it largely unplayable for most users, including persistent server latency problems, frequent crashes, installation difficulties, and startup failures that prevent players from even launching the game. Players universally report frustration with these problems and feel the game should not have been released on Steam in its current state. The consensus is to avoid the game entirely until significant technical fixes are implemented.

The game can't be played because the developer runs a server with 400ms+ latency and also added a latency check that prevents people from playing it. Obviously no single player mode... sure, it's free, but it probably won't work for you. This really needs to get fixed before being launched on Steam, not after. It's just pollution, another dead/iunplayable game littering the store.

Games like Noita, where the physics is the real enemy

Games like Noita for the two things it really does: spells you assemble yourself, and a simulated world that takes nobody's side. Seven picks, from a slugcat to a dwarf fortress.
